Indeed it is "Bible"
Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed. 2Corinthians 12:21
"The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance".2 Peter 3:9
"And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom became dark, and they gnawed their tongues for pain: And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and wounds, and did not penance for their works". Revelation 16:11
Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision. But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance." Acts 26:20
It's absolutely clear that you don't. Until you address the question I posed in my previous post, your cut and paste is meaningless, since it assumes as fact your understanding of the word "law". It isn't.
Let's try again:
From my previous post:
Jesus said...."So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one title shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:16-19
So Jesus says that He did not come to abolish "the law", yet Paul says that the "the law" is abolished.
So what's going on here? Are they contradicting each other?
Feel free to answer.
We understand that reconciling the words of Jesus in the Gospels with Paul's letters isn't a favorite past time for Protestants but give it a go.
Of course they are...Anyone who can read can see that...The deal is to understand why...
Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Compared to this very clear contradiction...
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Rom_4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Rom_4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Rom_4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
Compared to...
Jas_2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Of course there are contradictions...Who can't see that???
Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed. 2Corinthians 12:21
Out of the top 20 or so bibles out there only one stands out as coming from a separate line than the others, the KJV...Those other 19+ are all Catholic bibles...They all come from the Wescott and Hort Greek texts which are the Catholic texts originating in Africa...
And of those there is only ONE that mistranslates repent into penance...There is no penance...It's made up by your religion...
